Some thoughts on the Halo Infinite Tech Test
At long last, the team at 343 industries released a technical test for Halo Infinite ahead of the launch later this year. To say I was excited to be a part of this test would be an understatement as I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this game since 2020. This test was available…

The Archive: Microsoft Zune
Few devices carry the infamy like the Microsoft Zune. Microsoft’s answer to the iPod only lasted a few years before it was ultimately discontinued to help pave way for the Windows Phone. While the Zune name lived on for a little while longer (as the name of the music service), that too was retired and…

The Archive: Apple iPod
The iPod was my first Apple device. Actually, first of a couple in the iPod line and then the iPhone line, which I still use as my daily driver today. A lot has changed over the years with the iPod including the “core” iPod (and all of the other models beside the iPod Touch) being…

The Archive: Apple iPhone & iPhone 4
The Apple iPhone changed history forever. It was the first touchscreen phone that didn’t require a stylus and had a glass display. The history of the iPhone has been well documented but I wanted to talk about my experiences with the first few models which I hold near and dear to my heart. The iPhone…

The Archive: iPod Hi-Fi
This is the first in a short series of posts around my new and blossoming “Archive” collection. Mainly comprised of technology, it is stuff that I enjoyed/had/desired in the past that I feel a connection to. Some of it was purchased used (since I may have sold it/donated it like a dummy). The iPod Hi-Fi…

Cleveland’s Natural History Museum in Black and White
We visited the Natural History Museum in Cleveland this past weekend. I put myself up to a challenge – take pictures using a different device than I normally do. I ended up on using my Essential PH-1 and only used the monochrome sensor on the camera. It picked some great detail (especially for a mobile…

Droning Around at Patterson Fruit Farms
A couple of weeks ago we all went out to Patterson Fruit Farms in Chesterland, Ohio for their Fall Fun Fest. We also needed to get pumpkins for Halloween, so thankfully they had those there as well. What I didn’t realize was how much fun stuff they had for kids! They had 2 corn mazes,…

NASA Social at the 70th IAC
I was fortunate enough to attend the NASA social at the 70th International Astronautical Congress in Washington, D.C. this year. The IAC as they call it is held in different places every year (next year it’s in Dubai) and it is where private companies and governments get together to talk about space. So basically a…

The Who LIVE at Blossom
This month (September) I got to see one of the coolest band in person. The Who had their farewell tour this year and I was able to get $25 tickets through a T-Mobile deal (which was sweet) while Jason and I were walking out of the Smashing Pumpkins concert*. They were even better in person…

What to Bring to Dreamforce, 2018 Edition
Dreamforce (Salesforce’s annual conference) is rapidly approaching! I’ve been asked by a few people about what should they bring and what they should be aware about. Since I’ve been to Dreamforce 4 times so far (not this year though), I do have a pretty good idea of what to expect 🙂 I’m quite a gearhead…

Learning Procreate with Apple
Did you know that Apple offers free classes? They do! These topics can range from how to set up your iPhone to open studio “Office Hours” around projects you are working on. I got an email about a few classes that were happening a couple of weeks ago. One of the classes stood out to…

What’s in my Bag: Google I/O 2017 Edition
Hi there! It’s been a while, I know. Life has been pretty crazy the last few months. Don’t worry, I’m still here. — Fun fact: I applied to Google I/O this year and actually got in. So, of course, I am going (woo!) and bringing along a slightly different kit than I normally do to…

After a crazy latter half of the year, we finally had another Cleveland Local Guides event this past weekend. We had a private tour of the new Market Garden Brewery space, located across the street from the existing Market Garden space. This new brewery (with a nice little gift shop) opened up this year…

Google Local Guides 2016 Summit, Day 2 (#LGSummit16)
Man, today was a whirlwind of a day! It started out around 5AM local time, when I woke up on my own and struggled to get back to sleep. After tossing and turning for a bit, I decided to get up and go capture the sunrise by the Ferry Building. It was a very nice…

Google Local Guides 2016 Summit, Day 1 (#LGSummit16)
Today was the first day of the Local Guides 2016 Summit (#LGSummit16 on Twitter and G+). We started out pretty early to try and beat the traffic down to Mountain View, where we spent the entire day on the main campus of Google. After eating a light breakfast at the hotel, we piled in the…
